Wouldn't it make more sense to spend money making BBC2 SD regional, not being able to transfer regional news programmes to BBC2 causes problems especially in the summer.

Not really, as there's no need for sport to displace the regional news, if you discount the obsession the Beeb have that BBC 1 must carry the sport.

It's unlikely to happen before 2017, when BBC One HD is expected to be regionalised in England.
NI, Scotland & Wales, (& Maybe S4C HD too). then just focus on England and its regions. |

Sooner this is sorted sooner they can start BBC One HD Regions in England !!! Before anyone asks there are at least two BBC2 Regions in England, one is Manchester, as I heard once an announcer saying BBC2 Manchester and the other is London, as I heard an announcer saying BBC2 London, not sure about the other places in England, I think there is one for Oxford, not 100% sure on that one though |

London is Network though and even if you heard that in Manchester it would have been on freeview/Virgin only on on Dsat! in fact was it before DSO? as they arent supposed to exist!
There are no BBC 2 English regions, they've certainly not existed since DSO, and they've NEVER existed on DTT or D-SAT |

TBH it would be nice if the regional bit could switch from BBC 1 to BBC 2 as and when the BBC needed it, I guess thats just not feasible though! |

That is what I thought which is why I queried it!

On DTT it could be done by a routing macro at the CCM centres, for Sky and Freesat you'd have to swap and re-map all the BBC 1 transponder streams to BBC 2, feasable

As per title
BBC Two HD (Scotland, Wales & NI) When???? Is there any prediction or timescale for the launch of these channels? BBC One English regional nightmare can then start!!! and it was shocking we didn't have this sorted then It's 2017 soon and people in England do not have BBC One at 101 nor ITV at 103. There is not 4 HD regions of BBC Two yet STV HD, ITV Wales HD & UTV HD are present in Scotland, Wales & NI STV HD is at 104 in Wales. Channel 4 does not have ad regions sorted to move from 227 to 104 (Eng/Sco/NI) or 117 (Wal) only Channel 5 HD, the last terrestrial channel, has made it possible for all regions to have the channel at its rightful position in ALL regions. Come on BBC, ITV & Channel 4. They are all beyond excuses, TVL & recession etc |

Come on BBC, ITV & Channel 4. They are all beyond excuses, TVL & recession etc The BBC has been hit hard by DQF and Charter Renewal, making it less of a priority to convert regions and nations to HD. As it is part of the new charter, they'll pull off the conversion to HD on a gradual scale. |

Not sure about Channel 4, but ITV have been rolling out regions on a gradual scale, on Sky and Freesat. It's sorely needed for Freeview though.

Channel 4 could do the same as Channel 5 do with ad regions its more difficult I think with regards to Freeview and YouView but sky/virgin are very easy to do regions if they are available |

I think you'll find on Freeview that the HD versions of the PSB's are at 101 to 105 respectively.
![]() i think the below is the current correct situation not regional BBC One in England at 101, only Scotland, Wales & NI have this at present. nor regional BBC Two in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland at 102, (its BBC Two Eng in HD broadcast at present) nor correct ITV regions in most English regions at 103, regions have STVHD, UTV HD & ITV Wales HD nor the correct advertising regions in ALL regions on 104 not sure how ads work in 105 (think its a general UK wide version) |

The Scot/Wa/NI versions of BBC 1 HD are on 101 in those nations. ITV HD is as per satellite, but with fewer regions, C4 HD and C5 HD are just single national versions. (C5 is only one version now anyway) |

Correct but C4 HD is London version and no swap is applied anywhere.
Much more sense to keep the HD PSB's grouped all together next to one another until such time that they can all change LCN. |
